Rental car extra driver fee

[BitsnBearsMom]

do Alamo or Dollar charge an additional fee for a 2nd driver?

Dh just informed me he will most likely be leaving a day before us due to a buisness meeting so I am going to have to return the rental car - I prefer him to drive if he's with me but I will have to be the one returning it - have 2 cars booked right now at TPA - $85 taxes in with Alamo for a full size for the weekend and $96 with dollar for an intermediate.

Dollar does not charge for a second driver if it is a spouse. Neither does Avis, Budget or Enterprise. I would imagine they are all like that but I would call to check just in case.

Right! As long as the second driver is a legal spouse, there are no additional driver fees.

Is the Dollar policy you quoted just for MCO? When I look a the Dollar website it says: "To qualify, DOLLAR requires all additional drivers, including spouses, to satisfy our minimum age requirements, have a valid drivers license and pay an additional driver fee." It does note then that these policies may change based on local policies at the rental location.

Avis and Budget do allow spouses to be additional drivers without paying a fee at MCO. Not sure about Enterprise.

I've rented Dollar at DFW, SMF and SFO and none charged for a spouse. I have not rented at MCO so their policy might be different.
